The objective of this paper is to design a pump that can match its delivery pressure to the aircraft load. Axial piston pumps used in airborne hydraulic systems are required to work in a constant pressure mode setting based on the highest pressure required by the aircraft load. However, the time using the highest pressure working mode is very short, which leads to a lot of overflow lose. This study is motivated by this fact. Pressure continuous regulation electrohydraulic proportional axial piston pump is realized by combining a dual-pressure piston pump with electro-hydraulic proportional technology, realizing the match between the delivery pressure of the pump and the aircraft load. The mathematical model is established and its dynamic characteristics are analyzed. The control methods such as a proportional integral derivative (PID) control method, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) based on a feedback linearization method and a backstepping sliding control method are designed for this nonlinear system. It can be seen from the result of simulation experiments that the requirements of pressure control with a pump are reached and the capacity of resisting disturbance of the system is strong.

Nowadays, quadcopter motion control has become a popular research topic because of its versatile ability as an unmanned aircraft can be used to alleviate human labor and also be able to reach dangerous areas or areas which is unreachable to humans. On the other hand, the Optimal PID control method, which incorporates PID and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control methods, has also been widely used in industry and research field because it has advantages that are easy to operate, easy design, and a good level of precision. In the PID control method, the main problem to be solved is the accuracy of the gain value Kp, Ki, and Kd because the inappropriateness of those value will result in an imprecise control action. Based on these problems and referring to the previous study, the optimal PID control method was developed by using PID controller structure with tuning gain parameter of PID through Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) method. Through the integration of these two control methods, the optimum solutions can be obtained: easier controller design process for quadcopter control when crossing the determined trajectories, steady state error values less than 5% and a stable quadcopter movement with roll and pitch angle stabilization at position 0 radians with minimum energy function.

Hydraulic systems are used in a wide variety of applications, stationary as well as mobile. Hydraulic pumps und motors are in many cases used for both propulsion and various work functions and is thus often a significant user of energy. Efficiency performance of a mobile hydraulic systems over a wide range of pressure and speed conditions is crucially important for power unit to save energy. In this study, efficiency of a mobile hydraulic system are studied. Mobile hydraulic system is equipped with diesel engine as power unit and axial piston pumps used for hydraulic power. The relationships between the efficiency of the axial piston pump and the power loss, the efficiency of diesel engine and the output power were explained by graphics. The average power loss of axial piston pump have changed from 0.1 kW to 2.5 kW. Losses of an axial piston pump have been determined thus fuel consumption and CO2 emission caused by these losses were shown by graph. The CO2 emission affected by the increase in pressure and speed, it reached from 5.231 kg/h to 5.61 kg/h. The research focused on analysis for axial piston pump in mobile applications, with emphasis on pump losses, fuel consumption and CO2 emission.

Pump-controlled systems can eliminate throttling losses and improve the work efficiency of mobile hydraulic system. But one difficult problem for that is the differential volumetric flow through a single rod cylinder which is widely used in mobile hydraulic system. Several solutions have been presented to deal with it so far, but there still has not been a cost-effective solution to it. In recent years, an asymmetric pump-controlled asymmetric cylinder strategy has been presented to deal with this problem. In order to achieve this goal, an asymmetric axial piston pump with three ports was developed in this research. The flow rate ratio of the three ports of asymmetric axial piston pump was designed as 1: γ:(1 −  γ), in which γ was the area ratio of a single rod cylinder. An important task in the development of asymmetric axial piston pump was the design of the valve plate. There were three intake/discharge slots (slots A, B, and T) in the valve plate. The pumping dynamics of a fixed displacement asymmetric axial piston pump were investigated using software package ITI-SimulationX® and the performances of its prototype were tested. Simulation and experimental results show that with careful design, a V-shaped cross-section groove at the leading side of slot T can effectively improve the performance of asymmetric axial piston pump, and delivery pressure performance of port B is better than that of port T. Therefore, port T should be linked with low-pressure sources such as accumulator, and port B can be connected to high pressure sources. This work lays a theoretical foundation for a new exploration to pump-controlled system.

In this paper, a control strategy for operation of rotor side converter (RSC) of Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) is developed by injecting reactive power into the grid in order to support the grid voltage during and after grid fault events. The novel nonlinear control method is based on differential geometry theory, and exact feedback linearization is applied for control system design of DFIG. Then the optimal control for the linearized system is obtained through introducing the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) design method. Simulation results on a single machine infinite bus power system show that the proposed nonlinear control method can inject reactive power to fault grid rapidly, reduce the oscillation of active power and improve the transient stability of power system.

Recently active structure controllers were considered to deal with the impact of earthquake forces and the result of the investigations provided multiple algorithms to calculate force control and many different ways to apply these forces on the structure. In this study, the efficiency and effectiveness of three methods (linear quadratic regulator, fuzzy logic and pole assigning) are investigated. In addition, three buildings with different height classes with an active tuned mass damper (ATMD) on the top floor are considered to compare the active control methods. Examples with known mass and stiffness and with variable mass are considered. The results show that all three control methods used for the ATMD device reduce the structural response. The fuzzy control method, caused a sharp decline in relative displacement of building floors up to 80%. But in LQR and pole allocation procedures the applied force is limited. The best performance of fuzzy control is for high-rise buildings. The three different methods of control are stable in different masses and even under a random change of floor masses, their effectiveness can be trusted.

Hydraulic systems are widely used in construction machinery and equipment. However, the energy efficiency of hydraulic system is low. In many cases, hydraulic systems output energy to lift the working device. During the lowering process, the potential energy is commonly wasted through the throttling loss of the control valve. Recovering the potential energy is an efficient way to improve the hydraulic system efficiency. In this article, theoretical analysis, simulation calculation, and experimental verification were used to study the energy recovery efficiency of a differential cylinder system controlled by variable displacement asymmetric axial piston pump. Meanwhile, the influence of the load, motor speed, variable displacement asymmetric axial piston pump swashplate angle, accumulator pressure and capacity, and other key parameters on the potential energy recovery efficiency and system performance was analyzed. The results show that the system energy consumption can be reduced effectively by using the potential energy recovery system. When the load, motor speed, pre-charge pressure and capacity of the accumulator, and swashplate angle are 440 kg, 1000 r/min, 2.5 MPa, 1.6 L, and ±5°, respectively, the system’s energy-saving effect can be up to 39.25%. Considering that only the vertical motion of the differential cylinder controlled by variable displacement asymmetric axial piston pump was analyzed, in future work, the corresponding parameter optimization and control strategy will be carried out to obtain good energy recovery effect, and the influence of accumulator pre-charge pressure on the energy-saving effect will be conducted.

The reduction in source flow ripple in hydraulic systems is the most effective method of reducing pump-generated pressure ripple and system noise. This paper describes reductions in axial-piston pump delivery flow ripple achieved using a novel timing mechanism which is inherently speed, flow and pressure sensing. Fixed-speed tests have shown that the mechanism can significantly reduce axial-piston pump delivery flow ripple over a wide range of delivery pressures and pump displacements. Furthermore, the reduction in pressure ripple achieved with the mechanism has been shown to contribute towards reductions in overall air-borne noise levels of up to 6 dB in a simple system. A simulation model has been produced to predict the behaviour of the prototype mechanism. The model has been compared with the measured delivery flow ripple and achieves good agreement.
